Building from the empowerment framework, safety planning interventions focus on protecting women from exposure to repeat violence. However, despite the significant evidence of the negative outcomes of IPV and the complex individual and community factors that influence safety, little is known about what interventions improve the safety and mental health outcomes of abused women. While experimental trials are beginning, to date there has not been a trial to examine the effectiveness of safety planning, a cornerstone of IPV interventions, on exposure to repeat violence, safety, and mental health outcomes for women. An internet-based safety decision aid may assist abused women in weighing risks and benefits of safety options, assessing danger, and identifying the factors that are most important in their safety decisions. Further, it provides personalized links with community mental health and domestic violence resources, which are invaluable in assisting women in planning for safety, thereby reducing the immediate and long terms risk of negative mental health consequences of violence.
